Apache Heron is a real-time, distributed, fault-tolerant stream processing engine developed by Twitter.
What is Apache Heron (incubating)?
Apache Heron is a distributed stream processing engine designed for real-time analytics at massive scale. It processes continuous data streams with low latency and high reliability, solving the challenge of analyzing high-volume data in real-time. Originally developed by Twitter, it serves as an improved successor to earlier stream processing systems with enhanced architecture.
Data engineers and platform teams building real-time analytics pipelines that require high throughput, fault tolerance, and scalability. Organizations processing large-scale streaming data from sources like social media, IoT devices, or financial transactions.
Developers choose Heron for its production-proven reliability from Twitter deployments, its distributed architecture that scales horizontally, and its focus on maintaining processing continuity during failures. It offers architectural improvements over earlier systems while maintaining backward compatibility.
